The gentleman’s true solace. Ever-pressed for time, I find myself running (just as you probably are too) between meetings in a hectic schedule. Sometimes within the building, sometimes not. As the day unfolds, I inevitably rarely finish the tasks first on my list, guilty of endless re-prioritization. But hey, what can you do?! Tis the way of the corporate era here.I get a haircut about every 7 or 8 days. Keep it fresh. Normally it’s tightly squeezed in a free half-hour block and scheduled half an hour prior. Because of my last-minuteness, I have a tendency to move around from one hair artist to another, a price for convenience I guess. On the upside, this has allowed me to check...
Your dress code is your secret weapon! Handle it with care! PART 1 First off, do not mistake this for a Barney Stinson recital of the Bro Code, because dressing the part doesn’t necessarily mean “suit up!” Quite the contrary, and this is where perhaps some of us get it wrong; a suit is not always proper. In this issue I will focus on the corporate environment, but make sure to follow the next issues exploring other environments. Certain contexts require certain attires. And your keen knowledge on what to wear to what event will score you brownie points without you even knowing, it’s a secret weapon that is way underrated in my opinion. But worse, a wrongful...
Mahershala Ali – From political strong arm to Marvel bad boy: always #dapper! Oakland, California born Mahershala Ali is on track to becoming a household name, as hard as it may be to pronounce…you should get use to saying it, cause he ain’t going nowhere! We zoom in on his style on and off the screen on this episode of “dress like a celebrity”.I first came to take note of Mahershala in his awesome role as House of Cards power-shaker-slash-table-turner Remy Danton. Although he had been around in other roles, this is the one that really spoke out to me the most. I mean who else can perform classy gritty like this guy? Dressed to the nines and cool as a...
Martin Freeman- This guy dresses like a celebrity! In this issue of “dress like a celebrity”, we decided to have a close look at the man behind Dr. Watson! No really! If I were to judge this man’s code by the 2 roles I’ve known him to be awesome at, I might fall short of imagination of how he dresses in the real world. Martin Freeman may be best known for his role as Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit, but I have been more of a fan of his since his role in the British investigative crime drama Sherlock alongside Benedict Cumberbatch.It was while I re-watched (in marathon-mode) the entire Sherlock series in preparation for the new series 4 to...
Over 100% funded first day on Kickstarter! Overwhelmed by the positive feedback we received in the first 24 hours of the campaign, we are speechless! The only words that come to mind is WOW, and THANK YOU! At the start of this journey, we knew that it would not be easy. We weren’t reusing a product that existed already. We weren’t doing this full time. There were no guarantees of success. We weren’t backed by any investments. We knew nothing of the industry itself. It would have seemed like a daring adventure. And it was. But fast forward to 2 years later and here we are! Armed with a truck load of motivation and so much acquired experience we were...
